Can I stand on pancakes mamma
Can I touch the moon
Can I eat some bugs for lunch
and wrestle with a loon ?
Nay, noo sweet child
you may not do
these things which you propose
yet by your thoughts
you do posess
God's kingdom in that prose
Your magic is but lost to me
where covet I to own-
Abide, abide my little one
and share a' lot your gold
So far am I from Heaven's ways
forgot by it's domain
Now shall I enter through your eyes,
my innocence reclaim
Can I touch the moon
Can I eat some bugs for lunch
and wrestle with a loon ?
Nay, noo sweet child
you may not do
these things which you propose
yet by your thoughts
you do posess
God's kingdom in that prose
Your magic is but lost to me
where covet I to own-
Abide, abide my little one
and share a' lot your gold
So far am I from Heaven's ways
forgot by it's domain
Now shall I enter through your eyes,
my innocence reclaim

drafted
this morning I was drafted
by your eyes blue
as blue can be
who are you child
spawn of love's
enduring mystery
before you came
I studied you
what beckoned you my
way how did
you find me
